January 12, 2020

  The conclusion to one of the most roller coaster rides of a season to Eagles football that we’ve witnessed in recent memory came to a disappointing end at Lincoln Financial Field. We all know what happened. It was Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, a subject of many trade rumors for the Eagles in preseason, who ruined an entire city’s chances at a Super Bowl title when he knocked Carson…

  What a typically wild NFL season this was. We may, or may not, have seen the end of Tom Brady in New England. We saw a historic quarterback season that nobody, and I mean nobody, saw coming. We had one of the greatest seasons ever by a running back and a historic season by a wide receiver. And now we’re down to the fun part of the season. 256…

Ranking the 30 Most Memorable Moments for the 2018 Philadelphia Eagles

It was a disappointing season for the defending Super Bowl champions. Or was it? That’s a legitimate debate and I can see an argument for both sides. The negative spin is how obviously the Eagles were affected by the Super Bowl hangover, as they suffered a number of heartbreaking last-second losses. They didn’t win consecutive games until December. And their franchise quarterback was again lost for the season with three…

We watch football for a reason and that’s to see greatness, excitement, and most importantly, memorable moments. These can be defined in so many ways. It’s the last-second game-winning touchdown drive, complete with the miraculous helmet catch. It’s the jaw-dropping goal-line interception in the final minute to win the Super Bowl. It’s a backup quarterback torching a dynasty in the Super Bowl, or a historic defense shutting down a historic…

The recent culmination of the most memorable season in Philadelphia Eagles history has left an entire fanbase collectively in shock. Literally nobody expected the impossible to happen, for the Eagles to embark on a historic January run fueled by their swagger as underdogs.

The moment Tom Brady’s desperation Hail Mary bounced harmlessly off Eagles cornerback Patrick Robinson’s hands and hit the ground, the lives of an entire city of Eagles fans changed in a way that can never truly be measured by mere words. Finally. For the first time in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles’ long and torturous franchise, the team had finished a season as the last unit standing, Super Bowl…

This was an unusual season in the National Football League. Nobody ran away with a single individual award, as virtually every single race has two, three or even four legitimate candidates. No team established themselves as the clearcut favorite to win the Super Bowl, even with New England and Dallas running away with home-field advantage in their respective conferences.  Below are my picks for each of the awards across the…

With a 4-3 record, the Eagles are nearing the halfway point of what has been a typical rollercoaster Eagles season. It started with extreme highs, but the last month has seen the Eagles come back to earth with losses in three of their last four games. If the season ended now, the Eagles would miss the postseason for the fifth time in the last six seasons.  Below are my 25…

Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz.  I could write his name 500 times in a row, 100 times for each touchdown pass he’s thrown so far this season, and it would probably be one of the best articles some of you have ever read. Maybe that reflects on my writing style, but I think it’s more proof that this city is completely infatuated with its new…

How Good Can Eagles’ Rookie Quarterback Carson Wentz Be?

September 21, 2016
0 comment

He’s led the Eagles to a 2-0 record. He’s thrown for three touchdowns without an interception, the only rookie in league history to win his first two starts without committing a turnover. He’s calm, confident and poised, already drawing comparisons to both Aaron Rodgers, by All-Pro left tackle Jason Peters, and Brett Favre, by head coach Doug Pederson. His jersey is the top seller in the country, and he’s already…
